The only way I've been able to save something too salty is to add more unsalted liquid.

It might mess up the rest of the ingredients and spices, but worth a try when you've got a pot of inedible salty food.

The potato (or potatoes - one isn't enough in a big pot of soup) absorbs the salt as it would when cooking potatoes for dinner. The potato is discarded (or used for something else if you hate waste, like me) when the soup is cooked.

Adding more liquid would dilute the flavour.

The potato (or potatoes) absorb the salty liquid. They don't magically extract the salt and leave the liquid behind. You'd have as much success putting a sponge in the soup.
